I subscribe to heels on the rudder bars and toes held clear of the brakes, until needed.

A recent landing performed by Bloggs (not Capt Bloggs) saw full left rudder and close to 200 degrees brake temp on the right bogie. IMHO Bloggs couldn't apply symmetrical braking because the left leg was fully extended and not able to provide much braking, whilst the right foot did most of the braking.

An illuminating lesson for both of us.
